"We don't have a cocktail menu, but we can make anything you'd like."…read more That was one of the first things our server told us, and honestly, it was refreshing. These days, it feels like every bar has a cocktail menu full of creatively named drinks that require reading a list of ingredients just to figure out what you're ordering. At Governor's Tavern, if you want a gin and tonic, you simply ask for a gin and tonic. The only decision you need to make is which gin you'd like. I'm not much of a cocktail person, but I appreciate that not every place feels the need to reinvent the wheel. The place was packed at lunchtime, but we got lucky and grabbed a pair of seats across from the bar. The server who I quoted was genuinely friendly and welcoming. I ordered a Guinness, but unfortunately the keg had just kicked. She recommended the Samuel Smith chocolate stout instead and even brought me a sample before I committed to taste since I never heard of it, which was a nice touch. For food, we ordered the State Grill burger and the Nashville Hot chicken sandwich. Both were excellent, and each came with Belgian-style hand-cut fries. If you're spending the day browsing the boutiques and antique shops along Warren Street and want a drink, a good meal, and a lively mix of locals and tourists, Governor's Tavern is worth a stop.

Shared an OG Chicken Sandwich $13. It was buttermilk fried chicken with tomato and lettuce on a roll. Sandwich was pretty tasty. Service was just average. Otherwise, I would've given it four stars. Only a few people appear to have ordered food here. Basically, the place appears to be a watering hole. Only app.metered parking in the area.

We had eaten breakfast about an hour prior, so I wasn't feeling hungry at all... but that quickly changed upon first bite of my meal. I ordered the Savory Porridge, which came with a soft boiled egg, oyster mushrooms, chili crisp sauce (resembles Chinese Lao Gan Ma), and was topped with crispy rice noodles. This. Was. Incredible. I can't stress enough how perfectly the flavors, textures, and ingredients came together. You'll understand what I mean upon first bite. I also had bites of the Grapefruit Brûlée and Biscuit. Both were such a delight. The biscuit was shockingly incredible... on par with high tea in London. The ambiance was festive (came the weekend after Christmas), cozy, and charming. Amazing experience all around.

The interior is a nice balance between rustic and modern, creating a cozy/homelike atmosphere. The host and service staff were warm and welcoming, taking the time to explain both the menu and the nightly specials. We ordered the sea salt focaccia with whipped ricotta, the Maine mussels all'Amatriciana, the Argentinian red prawns, the heritage pork chop, and toffee pudding. The focaccia was baked perfectly, with just the right amount of seasoning. The biggest surprise, though, was the mussels. They arrived already removed from the shells, which I wasn't expecting, but they ended up being the standout dish of the meal. The prawns were good, while the pork chop had nice flavor, though I wish it had been a little juicier. The toffee pudding is highly recommended. Overall, it was a solid meal in a comfortable setting.

On Mondays they have $1 oyster nights so we will come back for these Food took a really long time to come out after the oysters ... Frisée salad was ok. My husband ordered Mike frites and they were very good. Frites even came with some homemade aioli I had the fried chicken on a bed of mash. But they should serve mash in the side as the Chicken got soggy. It was all well prepared and tasty. We really wanted a side of cooked greens. But they do not offer vegetable sides...just the frisee salad. It's casual pub like feel. We like this place and will probably come back. And now we know - no side vegetables...

Unfortunately, our overall experience was overshadowed by what I perceived as an unfriendly welcome from the owner, Eliana. From the moment we walked in, I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome. Her communication came across as pushy and dismissive, which created a tense atmosphere. What disappointed me most was the feeling that we were being encouraged to leave when we expressed interest in seeing another section of the restaurant. Whether that was the intention or not, it left us feeling unwelcome as guests. While the food, drinks, and service staff were enjoyable, the overall experience was negatively affected by this interaction. Français Le service et les boissons étaient bons, et le personnel qui nous a servis était agréable. Malheureusement, notre expérience globale a été gâchée par ce que j'ai perçu comme un accueil peu chaleureux de la part de la propriétaire, Eliana. Dès notre arrivée, je me suis senti mal à l'aise et peu le bienvenu. Sa façon de communiquer m'a semblé insistante et froide, ce qui a créé une atmosphère désagréable. Ce qui m'a le plus déçu, c'est le sentiment d'être encouragé à partir lorsque nous avons manifesté notre intérêt pour voir une autre partie du restaurant. Que cela ait été son intention ou non, nous nous sommes sentis peu appréciés en tant que clients. Même si les boissons et le service étaient de qualité, cette interaction a fortement affecté notre expérience. Español El servicio y las bebidas fueron buenos, y el personal que nos atendió fue amable. Sin embargo, nuestra experiencia general se vio afectada por lo que percibí como una bienvenida poco cordial por parte de la dueña, Eliana. Desde que entramos, me sentí incómodo y poco bienvenido. Su manera de comunicarse me pareció insistente y poco amable. Lo que más me decepcionó fue sentir que prácticamente nos estaban invitando a irnos cuando mostramos interés en ver otra parte del restaurante.

Português O atendimento e as bebidas foram bons, e os funcionários que nos atenderam foram simpáticos.

Fin dal nostro arrivo mi sono sentito a disagio e poco benvenuto. Il suo modo di comunicare mi è sembrato insistente e sgarbato. Ciò che mi ha deluso maggiormente è stata la sensazione che ci stesse praticamente invitando ad andarcene quando abbiamo mostrato interesse nel vedere un'altra parte del locale.

Sebbene il servizio e le bevande fossero validi, questa interazione ha avuto un impatto negativo sulla nostra visita. Nederlands De service en de drankjes waren goed en het personeel dat ons hielp was vriendelijk. Helaas werd onze algehele ervaring overschaduwd door wat ik ervoer als een onvriendelijke ontvangst door de eigenaresse, Eliana. Vanaf het moment dat we binnenkwamen voelde ik mij ongemakkelijk en niet echt welkom. Haar manier van communiceren kwam op mij over als opdringerig en afstandelijk. Wat mij het meest teleurstelde, was het gevoel dat we werden aangemoedigd om te vertrekken toen we interesse toonden in een ander gedeelte van het restaurant. Of dat nu de bedoeling was of niet, het gaf ons het gevoel niet gewaardeerd te worden als gasten. Hoewel de drankjes en de service goed waren, heeft deze ervaring een negatieve indruk achtergelaten. 日本語 (Japanese) ドリンクは美味しく、スタッフのサービスも良かったです。しかし残念ながら、オーナーのエリアナの態度によって全体の経験が台無しになりました。 お店に入った瞬間から、歓迎されているというよりも居心地の悪さを感じました。彼女の態度は押しつけがましく、失礼で、正直なところ「お客さんに来てほしくないのかな」と思ってしまうほどでした。 特に驚いたのは、レストランの別のエリアを見てみたいと思った時の対応です。歓迎されるどころか、「見たいなら帰ってください」と言われているような気分になりました。私はこれまで多くの国を旅し、たくさんのレストランを訪れてきましたが、このような経験は初めてです。 レストランというのは、お客さんを歓迎し、心地よく過ごしてもらう場所であるべきです。ただ中を見たいと思っただけで迷惑者のように扱われるべきではありません。 ドリンクは良く、スタッフも親切でした。しかし、オーナーの態度がそのすべてを台無しにしてしまいました。

However they do deserve a five star rating because they are offering something different compared to any other place in Catskill. The place is called "The salad bar" however their sandwiches are just as good if not better than the salad. The ingredients are always fresh and I've never been disappointed. Prices are fair considering the quality and overall we need more places that are different and unique like this in the village. They have small cozy area for you to chill and enjoy your meal and the service is always quick and friendly. Many of the towns in the Hudson Valley have been revitalizing their downtown areas with great success but Catskill Village seems to be moving a lot slower compared to those other areas. The salad bar is one of those places that's helping it move forward.
